Can you grind flax seeds to fine powder in it?

Your coffee grinder can be used to grind spices. However, if your coffee grinder is used to grind spices, we do not recommend grinding coffee in the same unit, or vice versa, as residual flavors may affect your coffee or spices.

I have only used it for course salt, but there is a burr on the bottom that tightens or loosens the grinding plate, so maybe small seeds are possible for it to grind. I know my salt comes out in very fine grains. Poppy sees are pretty tiny tho, so your guess is as good as mine.

I would say yes it will grind flax seed. It can make coffee beans in to a very fine grind for slow auto drip. It can make a cup, maybe a little more of ground product.

Good question! I'm assuming it would work since the seeds are hard. The fact that there are different settings to chop finer or thicker would also lead me to think yes, it would work. I would try and tell you but my flax seed is already ground!! Good luck. I will say I love this pepper grinder and am considering getting a second for salt. The product is great!

I would be hard to do because you would have to crunch it up first. Some of the contents or seeds. It is not a powder mix

I have ground Quinia, Millet, Armiroth (sp), Rice, Flax Seed and other small seeds/grains with my mill. Poppy seeds are tiny black spheres so in my opinion they would grind well but likely slowly. As I am thinking that you would not be grinding a huge amount of Poppy seeds this is likely a good mill for the task as it cleans up so easily. The main problem I see is with OILY seeds such as "sunflower" that do tend to gum up the steel burs.

It does well grinding all spices, but roasting flax seeds in a pan prior to grinding them makes a more consistent grind. I will say this is one of the best spice grinders out there, and I have owned a few of them over the years.

You maybe able to as long as the seeds are small. I grind course Celtic sea salt.

Yes, but it will grind them very finely. I use it to grind both coffee and flax seed, and it does a fabulous job. For things that I want a courser grind, I usually use a small food processor that I have.

This popcorn salt is fine grain but you probably could turn it into a power with a small coffee grinder I think. Turning salt intoa powder is much easier than making it fine grain.

Hi Kathryn. I haven't tried grinding flax seeds with mine but I don't see why you couldn't. I would say it's worth a shot.

I believe the holes are small enough to contain the whole flax seed. It is a fine mesh wire weave, so ground flax seeds will probably not work in this particular tea ball.

From the research that I have done, you do not need to grind them to get the full nutritional benefit. Unlike flax seeds, your body can break down the hull. They will indeed get stuck in your teeth, however. :)

No no no - the seed hulls are removed by mechanical process. That alone renders the seed unviable as a plant. Only if the seed shell remains intact does the heat treatment process come into play. In the protein powder there are no bizzaro excessive forces needed to make the product.

We do not recommend using this grinder to grind flax seeds. This model can grind up to 12 tablespoons of coffee at a time.

I don't know. We have only used it for flax seed and peppercorns. While it does a good job grinding flax seed, it takes way too long to grind any amount, such as a tablespoon. It works very well grinding peppercorns. Cardamom may be too big, but I don't know. I hope this helps.

I've never used it for anything but coffee beans but I imagine you could grind flax seed on a finer setting.
